Keep in mind when comparing online prices you need to consider shipping and ffl transfer fee's.

You posted in the classifieds on purpose ?

Just close this thread and post your question here: Handguns

You can self report a thread and ask to have it moved. (the little triangle button at the bottom of your post.)

I took the liberty of reporting it to the mods to request the move to a more appropriate spot so you dont have to this time. That report causes the mods to be alerted since they may not see it unless one of them happens to stumble in and read it by chance.

I'd offer $450. I'd go $500 if actually new in box and you really want it. Anymore than that and your at decent gun shop prices.

 

[dooshie]

Ya I have a chance to buy it for 350.00 never shot at all... Good to here this from every1... looks like I need to do abunch of reloading for my wife now lol

 

[jd4320t]

Yeah I'd jump all over just about any Glock for $350

 

[mrortega]

Go to budsgunshop.com and check their price for one. Their price includes shipping and there is no sales tax to pay if you are not in Kentucky. Anything less than that is a good price.

 

[STEEL CORE]

$350-$400 depending on condition.

 

[bjenkins]

Brand new that is a awesome deal!

 

[stephen87]

Let me know where it's at, so if you don't buy it I can.

New gen 3 private party? $450

New gen 3 private party? $450

Yes. there is value in a private party sale if the gun is truly brand NiB, never fired, never carried. Some people put a premium in an "off the books" firearm. If it is used, not so much.

Its tupperware, they never go bad just sitting.

EDIT: Just noticed you are the buyer. Forget the private party stuff. If the seller uses that angle, tell them you dont care. I'd knock $100 off retail unless I knew and really liked the guy. (People are paranoid about a form 4473 sitting at a gun store proving they bought a gun. If you ever watched the original Red Dawn movie, you'll understand part of the paranoia... if not, the bad guys used the 4473s from the hardware store/gun shop to round up all the citizens guns in town they could)

Retail is $499 so at $350 you are getting a steal. Jump all over that, even if you don't need the pistol.

Glock 26

Retail is $499 so at $350 you are getting a steal. Jump all over that, even if you don't need the pistol.

Unless I'm incorrect the buyer would also pay a minimum of 7% Indiana sales tax. If the gun was purchased from a dealer or private seller out of state shipping charges would most likely apply - and possibly sales tax and or a dealer transfer fee of $25-$40 unless you have a friend who has an FFL and will do the transfer for free.

To say retail is $499 doesn't paint a true picture in my opinion. At minimum I think a truer cost would be a minimum of $499 + $33 in sales tax or shipping charges plus dealer transfer fee. I would suggest a new gun "all in" would be closer to $550. BTW, I did take a look at Bud's sight. The cheapest price for a new Glock 26 was $542. (No sales tax or shipping fee apparently). I did not scan for a used gun price.

Nothing was mentioned about the gun being a Gen 3. I am wondering if the market recognizes a difference between a Gen 3 and a Gen 4 regarding value of one over the other ?

 

[VERT]

Blue Lable on Gen 3 guns is $425 + Tax. So $450 for a pre-owned but unfired G26 is a fair price in this market if I were purchasing from a friend. I wouldn't give more then that.

Wow, it sounds like you are getting a nice gun for a very good price!
